Description: Toilets : A Spotter's Guide: Nature's call has never been so beautifully answered, Paperback by Lonely Planet Publications (COR), ISBN 1760340669, ISBN-13 9781760340667, Brand New, Free shipping in the US
Loos with incredible views, lavish lavatories, outstanding outhouses - all are featured in this pictorial guide to the worlds most stunning toilets. Whether theyre high-tech or arty, amusing or amazing, each toilet has a photo and a description of its location. More than 100 restrooms to remember are featured, from Antarctica to Zambia.
As any experienced traveller knows, you can tell a whole lot about a place by its bathrooms. Whatever you prefer to call them - lavatory, loo, bog, khasi, thunderbox, dunny, bathroom, restroom, washroom or water closet - toilets are a (sometimes opaque, often wide-open) window into the secret soul of a destination.
Its not just how well theyre looked after thats revealing, but where they are positioned and the way theyve been conceptualised, designed and decorated. Toilets so often transcend their primary function of being a convenience to become a work of art in their own right, or to make a cultural statement about the priorities, traditions and values of the venues, locations and communities they serve.
The lavatory is a great leveller - everyone feels the call of nature, every day - but being ubiquitous doesnt make it uniform. Around the planet (and beyond it, see page 12), toilets have followed various evolutionary pathways to best suit their environment.
In these pages youll find porcelain pews with fantastic views, audacious attention-seeking urban outhouses, and eco-thrones made from sticks and stones in all sorts of wild settings, from precipitous mountain peaks to dusty deserts. So, wherever youre reading this, we hope youre sitting comfortably.
